Rear main *engine* seal. If it leaks, oil can contaminate the clutch.

^This... and in addition, if your cooling system is less than perfect, this will point out all your deficiencies... it will make small leaks big, and make small leaks where it wasn't quite leaking before. Sure shows you what all needs to be replaced in a hurry, though.

No, it's the other way around... and really, lean / rich is the wrong way to think about it. Think about it in terms of adding or removing fuel instead, as there is a critical difference, in that it's possible for the ECU to be adding fuel even when the engine is actually already rich, due to...

That's exactly it, and there are only a few readings... from memory: 0 = open loop close to zero = lowest close to 1.25 = low close to 2.5 = middle close to 3.75 = high close to 5 = highest The reading will bounce around quite a bit, but if you can graph the results it's pretty obvious what...

Hired a tuner. I've got Bill from the Independent Speed Shop within easy driving distance, and he's a wizard, as well as being at least as OCD as me... IMO if you've got easy access to someone that good, use 'em.

I've done both MAFT Pro and Vipec v88, I'm rather impressed with the Vipec unit. I'd buy one again.

I'll bet DrTweak could find those connectors....

While that's usually truth, there are exceptions... take Madonna, for instance, or if you want an even older example, Etta James.

Nicely done. Great innovation there.

Is a ring gap going to cause a drop by that far on the compression test? I'm thinking not... I've seen compression tests with better results where a couple inches of the top ring was gone entirely.

I guess 2 weeks technically counts as the plural of weeks... That's if his car even exists, I'm starting to think he's actually poaching shots off the internetz, photoshopping them a bit and presenting them as his. That and bribing the other two island guys with beer to back him up by claiming...

Or just sell 'em to another Supra owner, obviously they fit...

In his defense, he only drives it a bit more than Ryan does his, and he's had a broken engine for how long? 4 years?

Isn't everyone biased towards blue? Everyone important, anyway. ;)

Motion activated CCTV works well. So does a motion activated sprinkler.

Your radiator should never be connected to ground - the stock one is isolated at all connections for a reason. Look up galvanic corrosion... it can eat through an aluminum radiator in under a year, given the right conditions.

Problem is, then you'd have a deathtrap that looks like a can of crushed assholes... what's the point? If you want scary power in a lighter chassis, use a Mk2 Supra. Mark's with a 500rwhp 2J is a damn fine example.

Of course we did... a friend should expect no less. If you got horribly drunk and puked your guts out all over some hot girl, do you think we wouldn't bug you for months? Of course we would!

I don't know any way to make the stock one work, sorry. Well, personally, I use a Vipec standalone, so it's simple. For anyone still using the stock ECU, it will be more complex.
